Aquatint

This is my first attempt at aquatint, which is a process where you erode an etching using different amounts of time immersing it in acid, while protecting elements you want to remain untouched with painted on varnish. You also cover the etching in a fine dust of particles for further texture and definition.

It’s a nice mixture of crazy science and art. Though how successful the outcome you can judge.
